KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- A 24-year-old mom was found murdered inside her Kansas City, Kansas home over the weekend.

Police say the mom's murder is the 10th homicide so far this year in KCK. Tabitha Newbill turned 24 just three weeks ago, and was mom to two little boys. Her killing has stunned neighbors.

"When we looked out and we saw all the police and the detectives that's when we figured that someone must have died," a neighbor told FOX 4.

KCK police say shortly after 8 on Saturday night, officers went to Newbill's home near Ninth and Troup, and found the young mom shot to death.

Her hurting mom spoke to FOX 4's Robert Townsend over the phone on Monday night. She says her daughter was very loving, caring and especially adored her two little boys. The children are just 18 months and 6 years old. Her neighbor is praying for Newbill's family, especially her two boys.

"You have to. The kids are innocent in all of this. You got to pray for the kids," the neighbor said.
